What happened last night?

Last Night I Had The Strangest Dream
words and music by Ed McCurdy

Last night I had the strangest dream
I'd ever dreamed before
I dreamed the world had all agreed
To put an end to war

I dreamed I saw a mighty room
Filled with women and men
And the paper they were signing said
They'd never fight again.

And when the paper was all signed
And a million copies made
They all joined hands and bowed their heads
And grateful pray'rs were prayed.

And the people in the streets below
Were dancing 'round and 'round
While swords and guns and uniforms
Were scattered on the ground.

Last night I had the strangest dream
I'd never dreamed before.
I dreamed the world had all agreed
To put an end to war.

Here is John Denver singing it in 1971

Where HAVE all the flowers gone? Did you see them anywhere?

words and music by Pete Seeger

Where have all the flowers gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the flowers gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the flowers gone?
Girls have picked them every one
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?

Where have all the young girls gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the young girls gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the young girls gone?
Taken husbands every one
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?

Where have all the young men gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the young men gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the young men gone?
They are all in uniform.
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?

Where have all the soldiers gone?
Long time passing

Where have all the soldiers gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the soliders gone?
Gone to graveyards every one
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?

Where have all the graveyards gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the graveyards gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the graveyards gone?
Gone to flowers every one
When will we ever learn?
When will we ever learn?

Here's another one for ya:

Poppies Red

Standing silently on Remembrance Day,
We show our love in a special way.
Wearing a poppy crimson red,
Reminds us of soldiers, now long dead.

(piano)

They gave their lives for country and home,
In fields far away, at times alone.
They proved their love, their duty too,
Fighting for freedom for me and you.

(piano)

Take up the torch and hold it high,
Keep our faith for those who die.
Wearing a poppy, crimson red,
Reminds us of soldiers now long dead.

(piano- stay focused and looking up until the end of the music).
